Hopefully one day I will get into the swing of things and remember that blogging should be done more than once every two weeks...Oh well, I guess I'll start now!
One of my favorite meals is weekend brunch--and egg boats are one of my favorite easiest brunch entrees ever!
(based on a small baguette for 2 people)
1 baguette
4 eggs
Splash of milk
Salt
Pepper
2 pinches of shredded cheese of choice
Handful of fresh chives
What to do:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Other possible add-ins:
Ham
Mushrooms
Caramelized onions
Peppers
Bacon
Anything else you love in an omelette!
Also feel free to pre-toast the baguette for 5 minutes before adding the egg mixture. This super easy brunch piece goes amazingly well with a bellini, mimosa, or bloody mary!
Happy weekend!
